Abstract
An idealized theory is presented to account for the main features of base composition distribution of DNA, wide variation and small heterogeneity. The theory seems to account for the main features of DNA base composition distribution in nature. It is based on rather uniform mutation and selection pressures affecting the base pair conversion.Keywords
